To choose the best country for breast augmentation, take into account such factors:

• Price policy. The cost of breast augmentation varies from country to country depending on their internal pricing. Due to this, the cost for the procedure, accommodation, meals will be higher in the states with a developed economy and a high living wage of citizens.
• Travel time. Estimate how long it takes to get to a country for breast augmentation. Pay attention whether the travel is comfortable and also calculate the travel charges to be sure of not overpaying.
• Package price offered. Clinics located in countries such as Turkey or Thailand often provide package price which, except breast augmentation, also includes accommodation, transfer, language assistance, etc.

When a patient chooses the best clinic for breast augmentation, it is necessary to take into account such factors:

• Doctor's experience. The professionalism of a doctor is a key to breast augmentation success. Learn more about his/her experience, certificates, patients’ reviews. Ask a “before-after” portfolio to be sure of a future result.
• Specialty of a breast augmentation clinic. It is better to choose a medical center specialized in plastic surgery only. As a rule, such institutions employ the best plastic surgery specialists and have a wide experience in performing such procedures.
• Breast augmentation reviews. The real experience of patients is very helpful to choose the best country or clinic for breast augmentation. Read them and make the right choice.
• Breast implant surgery cost. High price does not always mean a good quality. But it is better to avoid clinics which offer suspiciously low breast enhancement prices.

The breast augmentation is performed abroad in the following ways:

Breast augmentation with implants

Access types:

• through the armpit
• round the areola
• under the breast.

Types of implants:

• teardrop-shaped (anatomical) implants repeatthe shape of the mammary glands. Doctors use them for slim young women with small breasts.
• round implants are used in case of sagging caused by pregnancy, weight loss, age changes.

If a woman plans pregnancy, a doctor places an implant under a muscle of the mammary gland. For a woman who is not going to breastfeed, a plastic surgeon places the implant under the mammary gland. Breast augmentation with implants has long-term effect, but the recovery takes more time than in the case of non-surgical enlargement.

Lipofilling

Lipofilling (lipografting) is a breast enlargement with the patient's own fat. Plastic surgeons receive the material from woman’s thighs or abdomen and inject it into the breast with a syringe. No scars remain after lipofilling. Recovery is faster than after breast augmentation with implants. However, the duration of the effect is up to 3 years, and then lipofilling must be repeated.

Only a doctor can decide which breast augmentation type is adequate in your case.
